2. Amendments. Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, the parties hereto hereby agree that the Credit Agreement is amended as follows:

(a) the definition of “Qualified Unsecured Issuances” contained in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (i) replacing the reference in clause (a) thereof to $150,000,000 with “$185,000,000” and (ii) adding the following phrase to the end of clause (b) thereof:
“ (other than customary equal and ratable provisions that would permit the Obligations to be secured on at least a pari passu basis with such Indebtedness)”

(b) Section 5.8(g) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to replace the reference to “Borrower” in clause (2) of the definition of “Early Opt-in Election” with “US Borrower”.

(i) by deleting the “and” at the end of clause (j) thereof;

(ii) by replacing the period at the end of clause (k) thereof with “; and”; and
